Title: Ultimarc Aimtrak LightGun with MAMEUI32
Post by: mr_mercury on April 25, 2017, 05:22:35 pm

Hello All,

I have recently purchased an Ultimarc Aimtrak Lightgun.  I am having trouble getting it to work with MAMEUI32.  Version 0.154.

It works absolutely fine with my Model 2 emulator as it really does just emulate a mouse.  But this is not the case with Mame.

I have followed the steps the best I can by editing the ini file and setting the lightgun flag from 0 to 1 and the same with offscreen reload.  However when I go to general input it will detect movement or trigger clicks or anything.

Is anyone able to provide some advice please?

Thank You.

I dont use Mame UI so may not be right but I dont think you have to do anything in the ini file but it does have a settings menu to enable light guns etc.
Maybe have a look in there?

Hi Titchgamer,

I did go into the controller mapping tab, there is a lightgun option in there that by default was set to mouse.  However when I set this to lightgun, it still didn't seem to recognise it.

The odd thing is when I load up a rom and press tab to navigatet the menu, I scroll up and down using the light gun, its bizarre.

Maybe I should try and use MAME instead of MAMEUI but from my understanding it is complicated to set up.

Just to clarify mame is not detecting the AT in the controller config menu is that correct?

The aim trak is detected as a mouse so have you tried setting lightgun as mouse?

If you have not already, go to the Ultimarc website & download the PDF AimTrak setup guide. It gives you step-by-step instructions for regular MAME & is not that difficult to setup (just follow the guide). If you still have any issues, we'll try to help.

Hi all,

I managed to get this working.  I just downloaded a newer version of MAMEUI64FX. 

Thank you for your help.
